Yes, it is a pointless comparison.

I would rather drown than burn to death in a fire.

It doesn't mean I want to fall overboard from the New Brighton ferry

I was seasick on the ferry to New Brighton once, when I was a kid. Funny how things like that stick in your mind.

Why? I've seen many people use this leg break comparison.

Biting someone is intended to harm. A leg break is often by accident, and if it is clearly on purpose, then the perpetrator should be punished severely, just like Suarez should.

Im just saying he has a point, I would rather be bitten than have my leg broke.

Thats all.

I'll put money on him getting away with it. He has twice before already

He didn't get away with it the 2nd time. He was serving a 10 game ban this time last year.

He is done for. I expect nothing less than 25 games or a 6 month ban.

Whatever ban he gets won't be Worldwide it'll just be International

A travesty if that turns out to be the case.

WHAT WOULD BRENDA SAY?

Wasn't too long ago that B-Rod was saying something along the lines of him ' making me a better man and a better manager '. This was after his 2 previous biting incidents, the racism comments, the stamping, the world cup cheating, the diving, trying to force a transfer and then holding his club to ransom..............

Your comment on page 1886 tends to contradict this.

I see them both as really bad, that's enough for me. I'm not arguing about which is worse.....that's a bit kopite-ish.

BTW, can you name one player who has broken the leg of 3 different players? Intentional or not will suffice.

It will be mate. There's no precedent for a Worldwide ban by FIFA

He'll get 6-10 games imo

Does this mean that B-Rod is going to be an even better manager after this?

I dunno, seeing a lot on the BBC from people talking about it extending to club level.

This world cup has been really successful and positive, don't think FIFA like that it's become about a player biting someone. There was a whole segment on NPR (national public radio...not really sports here) this morning about the bite. It's terrible press for FIFA. I hope (and can see) they drop the hammer.

There is, @Brennan posted a precedent yesterday somewhere.

There is the precedent for FIFA turning a domestic ban against some player in Portugal into a worldwide one, so there might be some chance the process could work in the other direction. I mean, Hannibal plys his trade in the Premier League and I can't imagine the league would want to resulting shitstorm of criticism if it and/or the English FA turns a blind eye.
